Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods for identifying arcing faults within an electrical circuit having a system frequency, an electrical current and an electrical voltage, and to a circuit breaker operating according thereto.
  • arcing faults can occur within an electrical circuit.
  • Arcing faults are undesired currents between at least one element of the electrical circuit and a further element, a potential difference existing between the two elements.
  • the two elements are not in direct electrical contact, rather there is normally an insulation between them. If the insulation is defective owing to the fact that, for example, it has become porous on account of aging or has been at least partly removed on account of mechanical action, then it is possible for a further substance to penetrate between the two elements and settle there.
  • Said substance can be liquid, for example water, or gaseous, in particular air.
  • the penetrating substance is a liquid, usually water, which has a high electrical conductivity.
  • the further element is usually electrically connected to ground or grounded and not necessarily part of the electrical circuit.
  • the high electrical conductivity and thus on account of the low electrical resistance of the liquid, comparatively high currents can occur between the two elements, which can lead to an impairment of possible loads of the electrical circuit.
  • the penetrating substance is a gas, in particular air.
  • the further element is usually electrically connected to ground or grounded and not necessarily part of the electrical circuit.
  • the gas is ionized and an electrical current can flow between the two elements.
  • Such a flashover is possible already at potential differences of approximately 30 volts.
  • the electrical current between the two elements is not constant, but rather at high frequency, which leads to a high thermal charging of the two elements, of the substance and/or of their respective environment. The temperatures occurring in this case reach as much as a few thousand degrees, with the result that further damage to the insulation, the elements and/or the respective environment is not ruled out.
  • a further type of arcing fault is the serial arc.
  • the further element is the first element itself, which is usually a cable.
  • the flashover takes place along the cable, the substance that penetrated usually being air, which is in electrical contact with the cable as a result of an insulation that has become porous.
  • the mechanism leading to this arcing fault is comparable with the parallel arc and likewise also the effects thereof.
  • WO 94/22031 A1 discloses two methods for identifying arcing faults.
  • the first of the two methods provides for monitoring the electrical current or the electrical voltage within an AC electrical circuit with regard to interference signals having a length substantially corresponding to half a system frequency.
  • the time periods formed between two successive interference signals are analyzed with regard to their length, their beginning or their end. If two time periods that are successive with the interval of a system frequency are present, a counter is incremented. If a specific number of regular interference-signal-free time periods is present, an arcing fault is identified. Instead of this, after registration of the specific number of arcing faults, the time periods can continue to be counted. If a time period is irregular, the counter is reduced by a predefined value. If the counter has reached a specific second number, an arcing fault is reported.
  • the second method involves checking interference signals with regard to their irregularities. If successive interference signals differ in terms of their position relative to the system frequency and their length, an arcing fault is identified. In addition, the rise in the respective interference signal is analyzed, since the inventor recognized that interference signals caused by arcing faults have a temporally steeper rise than possible interference signals caused by semiconductor switching elements within the electrical circuit.
  • the methods presented are performed by a circuit breaker, a monitoring element and a portable analysis device.
  • WO 2008/049436 A1 discloses a circuit breaker for monitoring loose connections in an electrical circuit.
  • the circuit breaker trips if a high-frequency signal is detected in the electrical circuit to be monitored.
  • the electrical circuit is interrupted by means of the circuit breaker if a specific number of such signals was determined within a predefined time window.
  • GB 2 348 751 A discloses a method for monitoring arcing faults within an electrical circuit realized in an aircraft.
  • the rise of interference signals is registered and an arcing fault is identified on the basis thereof.
  • the number of such interference signals which occur within a time window corresponding to half the system frequency is counted.
  • an interference signal can be understood to mean a deviation of an actual value of an electrical current from an associated desired value.
  • the deviation has a time duration and a specific frequency during said time duration, wherein the deviation can also have a number of frequencies or a frequency band during this time span. It is assumed below that an interference signal can comprise only one frequency, but the interference signal can also comprise a plurality of frequencies.
  • LF1 signal is understood to mean an interference signal whose frequency is lower than an LF2 frequency, while at the same time the current intensity is greater than an LF2 limit threshold.
  • the length of the LF1 signal and the length of the LF2 signal denote the time duration of the interference signal having the respective parameters above.
  • An HF2 signal denotes a number of interference signals which have a frequency below an HF2 frequency.
  • the time interval between two successive interference signals is less than an HF2 time, and the number of interference signals is greater than an HF2 number. If a further interference signal having a frequency below the HF2 frequency occurs within a time span which is less than the HF2 time after the last interference signal of an HF2 signal, then the further interference signal is counted as being part of the HF2 signal and the length of the HF2 signal is correspondingly lengthened. This has the effect, inter alia, that the time interval between two successive HF2 signals is greater than the HF2 time.
  • a number of time periods within which at least one HF2 signal in each case is present directly succeed one another then this is designated as an accumulation.
  • the length of each of the time periods amounts to an accumulation length.
  • the number of accumulations is greater than or equal to an accumulation number. If a further HF2 signal occurs in a further time period having a temporal length corresponding to the accumulation length after the last time period of an accumulation containing an HF2 signal, then the time period containing the further HF2 signal is counted as being part of the accumulation and the length of the accumulation is correspondingly lengthened.
  • an interference signal it is possible, in particular, for an interference signal to contribute to a number of the abovementioned signals and/or the accumulation. Furthermore, it is assumed hereinafter that, if a signal starts a time period, a time span, a temporal phase or a temporal period, or the time period, the time span, the temporal phase or the temporal period is started by means of the signal, the signal is counted as being part of the time period, the time span, the temporal phase or the temporal period, that is to say lies within the time period, the time span, the temporal phase or the temporal period.
  • the method uses a counter designated hereinafter as WET1 accumulation counter.
  • the WET1 accumulation counter is set to zero (0).
  • the WET1 accumulation counter is incremented by one (1).
  • the counter reading of the WET1 accumulation counter is incremented by one (1) as soon as an accumulation is identified within the electrical current of the electrical circuit.
  • the counter reading of the WET1 accumulation counter is incremented by one (1) as long as the time interval between two successive accumulations is greater than a first accumulation time and less than a second accumulation time. If this is not the case, then the WET1 accumulation counter is reset to zero (0).
  • a waiting period is started and the counter reading of the WET1 accumulation counter is not changed further in particular during the waiting period. If, during the waiting period, two successive accumulations have a time interval which is less than a third accumulation time, then the waiting period is terminated and the WET1 accumulation counter is set to zero (0). Likewise, at least one LF1 signal, preferably one, two or three LF1 signals, leads to a termination of the waiting period and a resetting of the WET1 accumulation counter to zero (0). If the waiting period ends regularly, that is to say if the waiting period is not terminated, then an arcing fault is reported after the waiting period has elapsed.
  • the WET1 accumulation counter is suitably set to zero (0) and left at zero (0) for a parallel time period. Therefore, the WET1 accumulation counter is not incremented by one (1) during the parallel time period if an accumulation is identified in the meantime. In the case where such an LF2 signal is measured during the waiting period, the latter is terminated and the WET1 accumulation counter is set to zero (0) and likewise left at zero (0) for the parallel time period.
  • the parallel time period is ended whenever an LF2 signal having a length shorter than the LF2 limit length is measured during the parallel time period. Likewise, the parallel time period is terminated whenever the electrical voltage was less than a termination voltage for a first termination time span, or whenever no LF2 signal was measured for a time period having the length of a second termination time span.
  • an arcing fault is reported if a number of HF2 signals was measured within the parallel time period, the time interval between two successive HF2 signals in each case being greater than or equal to a first arcing fault time span.
  • one of the intervals between two of the HF2 signals is greater than or equal to a second arcing fault time span, the latter being greater than or equal to the first arcing fault time span.
  • the number of HF2 signals which lead to a reported arcing fault is dependent on possible LF2 signals within a third arcing fault time span.
  • the third arcing fault time span denotes the temporally first section of the parallel time period.
  • the number of HF2 signals leading to the reporting is greater than or equal to a first arcing fault number.
  • the third arcing fault number is greater than the second arcing fault number. If a number of LF2 signals which is greater than the third arcing fault number was measured within the third arcing fault time span, then the arcing fault is reported only after the measurement of a number of HF2 signals that is greater than or equal to a fourth arcing fault number.
  • the method uses a counter designated hereinafter as WET2 accumulation counter, and an LF1 counter.
  • the WET2 accumulation counter and the LF1 counter are in each case set to zero (0). If the WET2 accumulation counter is zero (0) and an accumulation is identified, the WET2 accumulation counter is incremented by one (1). In other words, the counter reading of the WET2 accumulation counter is incremented by one (1) as soon as an accumulation is identified within the electrical current of the electrical circuit. With each further identified accumulation, the counter reading of the WET2 accumulation counter is incremented by one (1) as long as the time interval between two successive accumulations is less than the third accumulation time.
  • the WET2 accumulation counter is set to zero (0) if the counter reading of the WET2 accumulation counter is less than or equal to a first WET2 limit value, or an LF period is started if the counter reading of the WET2 accumulation counter is greater than the first WET2 limit value. In particular, the counter reading of the WET2 accumulation counter is not incremented further within the LF period.
  • Each LF1 signal measured within the LF period leads to an incrementing of the LF1 counter by one (1). If the counter reading of the LF1 counter exceeds a WET2 limit value, then an arcing fault is reported. If the counter reading is less than the WET2 limit value after the LF period has elapsed, the WET2 accumulation counter and the LF1 counter are in each case set to zero (0).
  • the electrical voltage is monitored. If, for a time period that is longer than a second SPG time span, the electrical voltage is less than an SPG voltage, then the WET2 accumulation counter and the LF1 counter are set to zero (0).
  • the SPG voltage is advantageously constant, but can likewise be a variable threshold value below or above a desired voltage.
  • the two counters are likewise reset if the lengths of two successive high time spans differ by more than a third SPG time span.
  • the term high time spans denotes the time span within which the voltage is greater than the SPG voltage. If appropriate, in both cases the LF period is terminated if the latter has already begun. If the two counters should be set to zero (0) on account of the electrical voltage, then the WET2 accumulation counter and the LF1 counter are subsequently not altered for a first SPG time span.
  • the WET2 accumulation counter and the LF1 counter are reset to zero (0) and not altered during the subsequent parallel time period if an LF2 signal is measured which has a length greater than the LF2 limit length.
  • the LF period is terminated if the latter has already begun.
  • An arcing fault is reported if within the parallel time period between all successive HF2 signals the time interval is greater than or equal to the first arcing fault time span, wherein one of the intervals is greater than or equal to the second arcing fault time span.
  • the number of HF2 signals which leads to the reporting is dependent on possible LF2 signals which are measured within the third arcing fault time span of the parallel time period in the electrical current. If the number of measured LF2 signals is greater than or equal to the second arcing fault number and less than or equal to the third arcing fault number, then the arcing fault is reported if a number of HF2 signals which corresponds at least to the first arcing fault number was measured within the parallel time period. If the number of measured LF2 signals is greater than the third arcing fault number, then the arcing fault is reported only after a number of HF2 signals that is greater than or equal to the fourth arcing fault number.
  • the parallel time period is ended and no arcing fault is reported if, during the parallel time period, the length of an LF2 signal is shorter than the LF2 limit length or no LF2 signal was measured for a time period having a length corresponding at least to the length of the second termination time span. If the electrical voltage should be less than the termination voltage within the parallel time period for the first termination time span, then the parallel time period is ended and no arcing fault is reported either.
  • the method provides for using a serial time period. If an HF2 signal is registered outside the serial time period in the electrical current, then the serial time period is started. The LF1 signals possibly present in the electrical current are counted in the serial time period. In this case, only those LF1 signals are counted between which there is a time period lying between a fifth termination time span and a sixth termination time span, the fifth termination time span being less than the sixth termination time span. In a first measurement phase of the serial time period, which begins with the start of the serial time period, the HF2 signals possibly present in the electrical current are counted.
  • the first measurement phase is ended if the number of measured HF2 signals is equal to the first serial number, and the holding period is started suitably thereafter.
  • the first measurement phase comprises that temporally last HF2 signal by means of which the number of measured HF2 signals corresponds to the first serial number, since the temporally last HF2 signal ends the first measurement phase and does not start the holding period.
  • the HF2 signals possibly present in the electrical current are counted whose time interval relative to the preceding HF2 signal lies between the fourth termination time span and the third termination time span. If one of the intervals should be greater than the third termination time span, then the second measurement phase is terminated and the serial time period is also ended.
  • the temporally first HF2 signal of the second measurement phase is counted if the temporally succeeding HF2 signal has in relation to the first a time interval that lies between the fourth termination time span and the third termination time span.
  • the second measurement phase is ended if the number of measured HF2 signals is equal to the second serial number, and the serial time period is likewise ended suitably. If the number of LF1 signals counted within the serial time period is greater than a third serial number, or if the number of LF1 signals counted within the serial time period is equal to the third serial number, and no further LF1 signal was registered in the electrical current for at least the fifth termination time span after the last counted LF1 signal, an arcing fault is reported.
  • the electrical voltage is monitored. If, for a time period that is longer than the second SPG time span, the electrical voltage is less than the SPG voltage, then the serial time period is ended if the latter has already begun and is not started for the first SPG time span. In other words, an HF2 signal measured within the SPG time span does not lead to the serial time period being started. If the lengths of two successive high time spans differ by more than the third SPG time span, then the serial time period is ended if the latter has already begun and is not started for the first SPG time span.
  • the serial time period is ended if the latter has already begun and in any case is not started for the parallel time period if an LF2 signal is measured which has a duration longer than the LF2 limit length. If, during the parallel time period for a time period having the length of the second termination time span, no LF2 signal was measured, or if the length of a measured LF2 signal is less than the LF2 limit length, or if the electrical voltage was less than the termination voltage for the first termination time span, then the parallel time period is ended.

  • a number of LF2 signals that lies between a second arcing fault number and a third arcing fault number inclusive and a number of HF2 signals that is greater than or equal to a first arcing fault number are measured, then an arcing fault is reported.
